Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSyria’s al-Watan newspaper claims that the four people killed by the border fence in Sunday night’s security incident were “four citizens walking in the village close to the ceasefire zone, when they were targeted by Israeli shelling.”
The Israeli army has said the four were militants who crossed the border and planted bombs to attack Israeli troops.
Local sources tells al-Watan that among the “martyrs” was one Faisal al-Saeed, a local official in Syria’s ruling Ba’ath party.
